Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
316 PM EDT Mon Oct 16 2017

...STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH ENTIRE REGION TONIGHT...
...SEAS WILL QUICKLY BUILD INTO ADVISORY LEVELS TONIGHT AND REMAIN
ELEVATED THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK...
...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN ANTICIPATED ALONG THE COAST TONIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY...

.NEAR TERM /THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY/...

Surface front has moved into the interior portions of the
southeast Georgia this early afternoon.  Head of the front many
locales have reached near record or record high temperatures
across the region. As low level forcing increases from the
surface front as is tracks from SE Georgia toward the coastal
Georgia and Suwannee Valley this late afternoon and for I-10
corridor toward the First Coast into north central FL this
evening. Likely to categorical rain chances are forecast for
eastern parts of southeast GA and parts of northeast FL mainly
east of highway 301 toward First Coast where convergence will be
the most heightened. In addition to the rainfall, a few storms may
reach strong to low end severe levels later this afternoon and
evening as thunderstorms advect into ML CAPE at 1500 J/KG.

Tonight...cold front will be located from about Fernandina to
Ocala around 8 pm. Locally heavy rainfall is expected in the
evening as weak low pressure forms along and ahead of the
front...mainly from Sawgrass northward to Jax metro area to
Nassau Sound. The cold front will decelerate slightly as it moves
southward, passing Ocala around midnight. Post-frontal rain
chances will remain numerous showers with a few embedded
thunderstorms with some localized heavy rain expected,
particularly over the coastal counties south of Sawgrass through
late tonight...diminishing a bit north of Sawgrass to Southern
Duval County but remain high for the parts of northeast FL coast
south of Sawgrass. Windy conditions will likely develop for the
coastal areas overnight with winds of sustained north- northeast
winds of about 20 mph with gusts 30-35 mph possible.

Tuesday...Windy conditions will continue through the day across
the coastal areas with localized heavy rain continuing along the
NE FL coast, particularly south of Sawgrass over parts of
southern St. Johns, Flagler and southeast of Putnam County. A few
early morning showers will be possible across coastal SE GA. Drier
air will continue to filter in across much of SE GA and the
Suwannee Valley. Noticeably cooler temps will be felt area
wide...due to cold air advection...leading to a day of below
normal temps. Total rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible
for coastal NE FL with locally higher amounts possible
particularly at the near coast . Most total rainfall amounts
elsewhere will be generally a half an inch or less.

.SHORT TERM /Tue Night-Thursday/...

Cold frontal boundary will slide southward through the Florida
Peninsula before stalling by Thursday. Locally heavy rainfall
threat and strong winds of 15-25G35 mph along the NE FL coast Tue
Night will slowly subside Wed-Thu as pressure gradient slowly
relaxes but overall expect NE surface flow to continue showers
over the coastal waters with scattered showers at times reaching
the coast and I-95 corridor. Otherwise mostly clear to partly
cloudy skies and cooler/drier airmass will filter south across
inland areas of SE GA and the Suwannee River Valley. Temps will be
much closer to normal with lows in the 50s/60s inland and near 70
along the coast in the onshore flow and Highs near 80 degrees.

.LONG TERM /Friday-Monday/...

High pressure over the Carolinas will slowly build into the Wrn
Atlc while old frontal boundary remains well south of the region.
The steering flow will remain easterly off the Atlc with coastal
showers possible on Fri/Sat, then steering flow will become more
southerly on Sun/Mon and bring a return to more deeper moisture
and scattered showers and isolated storms area-wide. Temps will
return to slightly above normal levels with Highs into the lower
to middle 80s and Lows generally in the 60s inland and lower 70s
at the coast.

&&

.AVIATION...
Scattered showers and storms have formed ahead of the front
mainly west of highway 301. As the cold front moves into the
region from the north and northwest high rain chances will prevail
for area terminals from around 23z-04z time frame as the front
continues to push southeastward. A light northerly wind expected
through early afternoon...shifting to the northeast-east along the
coast from the sea breeze. Wind shift to north- northeast
expected in wake of front after 00z this evening. Widespread MVFR
cigs expected this early evening, diminishing to IFR to LIFR mid
evening during the overnight hours into Tuesday for coastal
terminals and slowly lifting to VFR for Gainesville, St Simons
between 12z-18z, while low cloud cover, and scattered to
categorical showers remain over Coastal Duval, Coastal St. Johns
and Flagler Counties. Some locally heavy rain can occur at St.
Augustine terminal keeping reduced IFR to VLIFR conditions during
the morning hours.

&&

.MARINE...
Winds and seas will sharply increase tonight as a cold front
enters our waters and have raised small craft advisory for all
waters. Occasional gale force gusts are expected tonight through
late Tuesday night and included in the marine forecast. Winds/Seas
remain elevated through the remainder of the week and SCA
headlines will continue at least through Wed evening and Thursday
morning.
